Complex Business Litigation Attorneys

Legal disputes in a business, when not handled properly, can destroy a business’s reputation, profits, and all of the things that you have worked hardest for. When a legal issue arises, it is in your best interest to seek the counsel of an experienced complex business litigation lawyer.

Commercial litigation

We understand the significant impact that litigation can have on a company’s ability to achieve its business goals.  Napoli Shkolnik’s skilled commercial litigation lawyers assist businesses involved in commercial litigation to assess their options, contain costs, and decide on a course of action consistent with their goals. With complex business litigation lawyers in New York, Florida, Texas, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, and North Carolina, we have the multi-jurisdictional skills, experience, and expert judgment to guide our clients through disputes wherever they arise.

We represent companies in complex litigation and alternative dispute resolution proceedings across a broad range of industries including pharmaceuticals, financial services, insurance, and niche business industries. Our trial lawyers aggressively prosecute our client’s interests in matters involving a breach of contract, consumer fraud, false advertising, corporate governance, professional liability insurance issues, antitrust, securities fraud, and trade secret litigation — on contingency.

A business dispute, whether an alleged breach of contract or an issue involving defamation or trade secrets, has the potential to put at risk everything you have worked so hard to achieve. It is in these situations that you need a competent, objective professional to represent your interests. Napoli Shkolnik PLLC represents clients across New York in a diverse variety of commercial claims, including contractual disputes, trade secrets, employment, wage and labor, defamation, and insurance matters.

Cross-Border Relationships

The Commercial Litigation Group at Napoli Shkolnik PLLC also has excellent relationships with local counsel outside the United States, including Austria, Denmark, England, and Brazil. These relationships are critical for our clients whose disputes involve extraterritorial law and parties (including third parties). Foreign local counsel provides us with ground-level insight into the politics and legal issues in foreign jurisdictions that may implicate our clients’ rights and recoveries in their pending U.S. litigation.

Our Commercial Litigation Group stands alone in a sea of high-level business litigation firms

  • Contingency-based fee arrangements in commercial litigation is the exception due to the length of time these cases take to resolve, high-value expert analysis, and the complex legal and industry-specific acumen required to successfully prosecute them.
  • By prosecuting your business and commercial disputes on a contingency basis — we bear the risk for you.
  • Our reasonable attorney’s fees come solely from your recovery – if we don’t win, you don’t pay.

 

Class actions

Our complex commercial litigation group has prosecuted nearly every type of class action lawsuit filed, from consumer fraud to securities and gender discrimination cases. Our advocacy in landmark cases is unparalleled and we are particularly experienced with class certification issues.  We frequently serve as national class counsel for clients prosecuting claims in multiple jurisdictions.
